In large families, it seems it is hardest to be either the first or the last child. That was certainly true in ours.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In a big family the first child is kind of like the first pancake. If it's not perfect, that's okay, there are a lot more coming along.
Raising kids these days is hard. I'm the second to last child in my family. I think it's tough; I have two kids, I see them and I feel like I see things in them; they awaken the inner child in you.
The most difficult is the first family, to bring someone out of the world.
I've always put my family first and that's just the way it is.
Family is always first.
As a mom I know that raising children is the hardest job there is.
Being a father of three children and grandfather to nine, I do think that this thing called 'parenting' is becoming increasingly difficult.
The golden child may be the oldest one, unless it's the youngest. It may be the toughest one, unless it's the most sensitive. It's not even necessary that Mom and Dad have the same favorite - and typically they don't.
For me, family has always come first.
I was by far the youngest of the family, and at times it was like being an only child.
